A firm carrying out contracts of insurance, in relation to which information is not required to be included in the register under FSA rules, must, beneath the form in 1.2R, state the following, where applicable, tailored as necessary to the firm's circumstances:

“We have potential liability for policies under which UK commercial lines employers’ liability cover has been provided to employers and which commenced or were renewed before 1 April 2011 and in respect of which no claims were made on or after 1 April 2011. However, we are not required to make details of those policies available in this register under FSA rules. Enquiries may be made about these policies by individual claimants, their authorised representatives, or insurers or their insurance intermediaries, with potential claims, by contacting [insert contact details]”

The purpose of 2.1R is to inform users of the register that the firm may be potentially liable in relation to policies other than those on the register. However, a firm may include policies additional to those entered into, renewed, or in relation to which a claim was made, after April 2011, in the register. If it does, the statement in 2.1R may be amended as necessary to refer to the policies that are not included.
